crystals.

Hello, we sincerely trust you had a wonderful
Christmas and that it brought you all the joy, brightness and wonderment you
could handle.

We had a good laugh when we opened our joint
present from Sue’s eldest, Colin. He is the least like us and yet he is the one
who is most in sink when it comes to presents. He always asks for a list for him
to choose from, but this time Sue shortened it. We have been reading ‘The law of
Abundance series’, presented by Esther and Jerry Hicks. He was asked if we could
have the DVD’s of the same name, except for number one which we already
had.

As we started to open our present, its shape and
feel was betraying its content and sure enough it was volumes 3, 4 & 5 of
the requested DVD’s. Naturally we were very pleased! But it was the attached
note that really made us laugh.

“Dear Mum & Ron.
Unfortunately I’m not trained in the Law or Attraction, so I could not find
episode II. Hopefully you can use the Law to find it.”

I’m sure we will!

In the New Year Sue will be embarking on her study
of whole food and how eating these foods can not only keep us vital and healthy
but also how they can be used to cure all sorts of maladies, illness and
complaints.

I have always maintained that there is a
fundamental connection between our food choices and our state of health. In fact
I am convinced that the closer we eat like our Great Grandparents ate, the
better our health and energy levels will be.

Back in 1964 – 6 I used to get off the train at
Redfern station (Sydney) on my way to work and each time I stepped off the train
I would be greeted by a large billboard proclaiming on behalf of Tip Top breads
“What you eat today – walks and talks tomorrow.” Ever since then this has been
one of my life mantras.

If you share these same sentiments and you are curious and you would
like to know more, then take a look here – www.learnhealthyeating.comWhile you are there you
can also get a free mp3 download; Nuggets of Ancient Wisdom, valued at $37.00. I
wholly recommend this to you.

An Amethyst cluster placed in a room helps to remove negative
energies and create a more harmonious environment.

Larger pieces of Amethyst like clusters, geodes and natural points
make great decorating items as well as providing their healing properties.
Smaller pieces like tumbles, points, chunks and pendants when worn or carried
provide personal healing benefits.

Stone of the
month.

For all those born in the month of January, your Birthstone is Garnet.

Garnet is very common and plentiful stone and
can be found in many areas around the world. It has a trigonal crystal
structure, and there are different forms according to its mineral base;
Almandine, Andradite, Demantoid, Grossular, Hessonite, Pyrope, Rhodalite,
Spessatite, Tsavorite and Uvarovite. A common misconception is that all
Garnets are a red, when actually they come in a wide variety of colours
including purple, red, orange, yellow, green, brown and black.

Garnet has been widely known for thousands of
years, and it has long been known as The Warriors Stone, carried by soldiers the
world over as a talisman against death and injury, but it was also said to bring
victory, peace and tranquillity. Many courageous travellers and explorers wore
Garnets for protection, as they were considered popular talismans and protective
stones.

It is said that Garnet not only holds the
power to protect its wearer from negative energies, but to send those negative
energies back to where they originated from. Garnet has been used as adornment
for thousands of years and is one of the stones in the breastplate of the high
priest.

Garnet is also a stone of romantic love and
passion and commitment. Metaphysically it is used to enhance sensuality,
sexuality and intimacy. It balances the sex drive and alleviates emotional
disharmony. Red Garnet in particular stimulates the controlled rise of the
Kundalini and aids sexual potency.

An excellent stone for manifestation and it
can assist mystically with building your self-confidence as well as success in
your chosen profession. The Garnet is commonly known as the stone for
successful business, and is useful in the planning stage of any
project.

A Garnet placed under your pillow is said to
prevent bad dreams. Wearing Garnet jewellery will help generate popularity
amongst your peers, and help alleviate depression. It will also bring constancy
to friendships.

Garnet has a strong link with the pituitary
gland and can stimulate expanded awareness and past life recall. It will sharpen
your perceptions of yourself and others. Garnet helps you let go of old,
useless, or obsolete ideas. Will remove inhibitions and taboos and will open the
heart and bestow self confidence.

Garnet regenerates the body and treats spinal
and cellular disorders. It stimulates the metabolism, purifies and regenerates
the blood, heart and lungs, and regenerates DNA. It assists assimilation of
vitamins and minerals. It clears negative chakra energy. Both the thyroid and
spleen may benefit from cleansing and purifying with
Garnet.

A short
story or ‘The Case of the itchy skin’

Just
before Christmas I got a bit of an itch and a slight rash and like any good
healer I said to myself it will go away, my immune system will kick in any time
now and voila; just like magic it will be gone. A few days later and it was
still there, only worse and more of it in more
places.

But
like all good healers, I left it
alone – sure in the belief my body would shed itself of this bothersome itch.
This is just like the story of many good tradespeople and professionals: You
know the panel beater with the dented car or the painter whose house needs
painting and the accountant who hasn’t got his tax return in
yet.

Anyway,
Christmas Eve morning and Sue had had enough of my whinging and I had had it
with this itching, it was time to take action!

I knew
what was needed, a crystal elixir, some tea tree lotion to apply topically and
to find a way to keep my hands away from scratching myself. Sue was going to mix
up some Bush Flower Essence but decided that as I would be using a crystal
elixir, some Emergency Essence for the day would suffice.

The Tea
tree oil was selected to be applied topically, for its antibacterial properties
in case the rash was bacterially based, plus it helps reduce and ease
itchiness.

I
thought about what I would need for my elixir and after checking with some of
our reference books, I set about making it. I gathered together a large cut
glass bowl, along with a glass tumbler and these tumble stones – Rhyolite, for
the rash, Azurite and Malachite for the itch, Hematite to soothe the skin and
clear quartz to amplify the energy and benefits of the other stones. In addition
I charged the Clear quartz with resolving this matter
ASAP.

To make
the elixir I filled the bowl with pure water and placed the tumbler in the
middle of it. The stones were then placed in the tumbler as the Azurite and the
Malachite should not be placed directly in the water because their active
minerals can be toxic*. This was then placed out in the morning sun. It was
collected about midday and then sipped throughout the day.

*It is
wiser to use the indirect method rather than just place them in the water,
although the amount of copper released from the Malachite for example is
probably much less than what leaches from your copper pipes every
day.

A few
days later as I was making another batch, I was empathising with my clients who
run short on patience. I too found the need to remind myself that Crystal
Healing really works, especially as the days got hotter and more humid and the
sweat exacerbated my problem complaint.

Fortunately as I am writing this account, the itchy rash has
regressed. In fact I believed it was gone until it reared its ugly self this
morning as I was undertaking some heavy physical work outdoors. Perhaps its a
heat rash, (or maybe I’m allergic to heavy work on hot days – a joke) but I can
say its only a shadow of its former self and I am sure as I continue my self-
treatment it will disappear for good.

I no
longer need the lotion and I am sure in a few days it will be clear even if I do
nothing more, but I will keep on with the elixir to make sure it is really
banged on the head.

Today,
a client said it probably would have fixed itself over this period of time. She
may be right. But I’m certain it would have been much worse without intervention
and I could well be sitting at this keyboard, using it as a major diversion to
keep from scratching and would probably be so distracted that I couldn’t
concentrate and write this anyway.

If
there is a point to this story and it’s not that crystal healing works (albeit
slowly sometimes) of this I have no doubt. The point is the earlier you get onto
something the quicker you get relief and the sooner it is cured. Also no
artificial or chemical products were used or needed to affect my return to
normal good health.

Crystal Tips and
Techniques.

Improving
business:
If your business is not doing as good as it should be, just put 3 or more
Garnets on your desk or at your workspace and a turnaround or improvement should
follow.

A
note on cleansing your crystals:
Some people recommend placing your crystals in rock salt or salt water for a
long time. Before you do this, make sure your crystals will be safe in water and
remember that salt can have a devastating effect on the surface of some stones.
For example if you leave polished Malachite in salt water for some time it loses
its sheen. Salt will also remove the polish from many stones. Remember that
Barite, Calcite, Selenite and similar crystals will fall apart or dissolve in
water.

We were taught that ocean water, collected on an incoming tide is
excellent for cleaning crystals and is a system used by us to this day. However
we are very selective in its use, but don’t hesitate to use it with our Clear
Quartz crystals.

The
proper use of crystals in healing: Some
people lay down all sorts of rules and dogma for crystal healing. In truth there
are no correct or incorrect methods for using crystals and gemstones, provided
you use them with a good heart and the best intentions in mind. And of course
that you have done your research – you wouldn’t want to use a stone for your toe
to heal your eye.

Good vibrations and all the best,

Ron & Sue
